Model & Market Context
This entry documents the specific airframe bearing tail number N978PC, a Cessna 510 Citation Mustang built in 2009 with serial number 510-0199. The aircraft is owned and operated by Promega Corporation, a corporation based in Madison, WI, and is registered in the United States. The airframe is noted for its corporate ownership and typical light-jet deployment in support of company travel; registration and corporate operation have been centered on its Madison, Wisconsin home base. No public record of alternate owners or major registry actions is included in the supplied data.
The aircraft is outfitted in a standard Mustang corporate interior with a 4-place club configuration (typical Mustang layout) that supports short to medium-length corporate missions. Avionics are a factory-style Garmin G1000 integrated flight deck, providing situational awareness and modern navigation for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe focus on point-to-point business travel within the aircraft’s 1,167 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 340 knots, allowing efficient hops between regional hubs and subsidiary locations. As a corporate-owned asset based in Madison, WI, maintenance and scheduling considerations are shaped by owner operational needs and the aircraft’s light-jet maintenance cycles for the PW615F-A engines.
The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the entry-level very light jet segment, emphasizing cost-effective corporate transport with moderate range and high operating speed relative to turboprops. With twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F-A engines producing 1,460 lbf each and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, the model competes with other VLJs for owner-operator and fractional users seeking small-cabin jets. Market and resale considerations for this specific airframe center on typical Mustang demand, remaining maintenance history, and the avionics fit (factory Garmin G1000) which supports continued utility in corporate flight departments.
